– We come from Germany, from the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, says a smiling Katrin. She says that they live between the big city of Hamburg and the city of Schwerin.
Nice tour
This is not the first trip to Norway, neither for Katrin nor Michael. For Katrin’s part, it is anyway the first trip in many years. She has not been to Norway since she was a little girl, she says. Michael, on the other hand, has been here recently through his work. He works as a trailer driver.
– What route did you take on the way here?
– We have driven through Denmark, Sweden and then via Oslo and Bergen. Well, we’re on our way back, replies Katrin. When asked if there is anything special she wants to take away from the trip, she can’t think of anything special, but quickly adds that they have the costs of the trip. Michael agrees. He says the trip went smoothly.
– It has been a great trip! We have been a uke in Norway now, and we expect to use another uke on the return trip, says Katrin.
– Are you going to take the boat from Norway to Denmark?
– No, we will drive around the coast and then through Sweden and Denmark, she replies. Before the motorhome sets off on the country road again, Katrin says that they have had a great stay at Sokn Camping.
